I totally agree.  Play with the "tuesday night madness" type deals until
you find the price point that gets the place as crowded as it can get
consistently.  At that point you'll make plenty of money just on food
and drink.  As at Bandersnatch, it could even be free... but I wonder if
that wouldn't get it too crowded at a gaming place, demand way in excess 
of supply.
